In the field of apps Messenger service We find ourselves in a curious situation: Despite the fact that the podium of the most used is occupied by WhatsApp, Telegram and Line, this is not inconvenient so that a multitude of platforms continue to appear that are also very popular in some regions and that try to take advantage of the weaknesses of the most powerful.
A few hours ago we told you more about the record of users that the tool owned by Facebook has broken. However, we can find others such as Hike trying to land hard in app catalogs. Next we will tell you more about it and we will see what are the common points and differences with respect to others in its category.
Operation
Hike Messenger, which is the full name of this tool, allows you to communicate through texts with other users who also have it. So far, we have not found anything new compared to its competitors. To this is added the possibility of sending content as small videos, locations or audios similar to those we already know. However, privacy is intended to be one of its strengths, since it allows code everything we write or attach. This last feature is intended for use under WiFi connections and public networks.
Some differences compared to other messaging apps
One of the functions that can distance Hike from some of its category but not from all, is the fact that it has a offline mode through which we can continue to communicate. At the same time, its customization capacity is added, which in this case is achieved through a catalog of stickers and Topics which are set as wallpapers. To save space on devices, it can be moved from the internal memory of the terminals to the Micro SD cards.
Free?
Hike Messenger does not have no cost initial. At the beginning we said that in certain regions, messaging apps like this may appear that are well received by the public. Developed by an Indian team, it has managed to get closer to the 100 million de downloads of which the vast majority stay in the country of the Ganges. However, it is available in multiple languages and can be used in other areas. It has received criticism in some aspects such as unexpected closings, errors in video calls or slow operation in some terminals of firms such as LG.
